Egypt Air new flights from Cairo to Copenhagen

Egypt Air’s new direct flights from Cairo to Copenhagen Airport will be opened in October . Given Egypt Air’s large route network, the new service will provide accessibility not only to all of Egypt, but also to destinations in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and the Middle East.

Brand new aircraft
Egypt Air will use a brand new B737-800 with 144 seats on the CPH CAI route. There will be three weekly frequencies on the service, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, leaving Copenhagen at 3.45 p.m. and leaving Cairo at 10.00 a.m. For more information, go to Egyptair.com.

“Every week, Danish business people travel to Egypt to promote trade and to offer Danish expertise to their business partners in Egypt. And the new route will ensure even better conditions for the already large inflow of Danish tourists,” said Christian Hoppe, the Danish Ambassador in Cairo.

A member of the Star Alliance
Egypt Air is a recent member of the Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance, which will pave the way for valuable collaboration with SAS and thus for increased transfer traffic at Copenhagen Airport.

“The membership of the Star Alliance enhances the network out of Cairo and provides a multitude of connections at our end of the route. It makes the route accessible for tourism and trade and industry beyond the region around Copenhagen and strengthens the airport’s position as a hub. We are pleased that we can in this way help strengthen the position of the Danish Capital Region and Danish trade and industry in general,” said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales for Copenhagen Airports.
